Van Horne Mansion, Art Nouveau mansion in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The Van Horne Mansion displays stone walls, decorative moldings, and floral motifs that exemplify late 19th-century residential architecture in Montreal.
The mansion, completed in 1870, became the residence of Sir William Van Horne, who led the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway system.
The residence housed an extensive art collection, including works by Rembrandt and Gainsborough, along with Japanese porcelain pieces selected by Van Horne.
The former location of the mansion at Sherbrooke and Stanley Streets now contains the Sofitel Hotel, following the building's demolition in 1973.
The nighttime destruction of this mansion sparked the formation of Save Montreal, an organization dedicated to protecting architectural heritage.
